ing-Man.
l reside in manufacturing town of
%, 600 inhabitants. The articles manu-
featured range from heavy machinery
for all sorts of purposes to the smallest
articles in daily use. The presence of
a large class of laboring men with
families to clothe and feed makes a.
large trade in articles necessary in al
households food, clothing, furniture,
books and works of art. Besides these;
branches of industry, we have another
which IS carried on, on large scale.
We have nearly two hundred estab-I
ments whose business is drunkard-
making.
During the two or three years past,
our manufacturing establishments
have felt the pressure of the hard times,
and been obliged to curtail their busl-.
ness, and so we have had more or less.
unemployed men in our community
Many of these men thus thrown out of
employment are men who use neither
lntoxlcants nor tobacco, but, all the
same, loss of employment has brought
their families to want. So far as their.
own habits are concerned, they have
not suffered from the rum traffic.
Nevertheless, 1 think it can be shown
that their loss of employment has been
caused by this traffic.
These two hundred saloons can not
be run on an average income of less
than ten dollars per day. to pay for
rent, wages, stock, and give a living
profit to the proprietors. This takes
81, COO per day out of the pockets of
our $4,000 citizens, or Gas Sunday is
not day of rest for saloon men) $780,
600 per annum. Now, if this sum
were not sepnt in saloons, what would
be done with it? 1t is fair to assume
that at least half of it would be spent
for things that would give comfort
and enjoyment in the homes of our
city-food, clothing, furniture, orna-
ments for the home or the person, lit
erature, etc.-in short, for just those
manufactured articles of which there
is now surplus in our warehouses,
and in consequence of which surplus
production has to be diminished and
laborers thrown out of employment.
Stop the stream that flows into the till
of the saloon and turn it into the ware
houses aforesaid, and thus empty them
of their surplus, and at once there
would be call for more producers,
and every unemployed man would have
the opportunity to earn wages for the
support of his family.
If every laboring man were "teeto-
taller" provided only the money squan-
dered for drink were the same as now,
the effect of this enormous waste on the
laboring man in depriving him of en-
ployment would be the same as now
The plain fact is, that what is wasted
for drink is not spent, as it would be
largely, for useful articles whose man.
ufacture gives employment to the la
boring class. Thus it is the laboring
class that suffers most in consequence
of the rum traffic.-N S. Burton, IN

CULTIVATION OF CROPS.
How Thorough Stirring of the Soil Affects
the Growing Plants.

How Thorough Stirring of the Soil Affects
the Growing Plants.
After seed has come up, the frequent
stirring of the soil will prove beneficial.
1t is not generally necessary to caution
any one against stirring the soil too
frequently, still this may, not impos-
sibly, be sometimes overdone, at least
as regarded from a financial point of
view. Following rain, and after the
land is dried sufficiently to be in good
working condition, is the best possible
time for giving the soil thorough STIR
ring; for then it will be left in fresh,
lively condition, that will give the
growing crop surprising start.
It may be well to note here that it is
not profitable to stir the soil when it is
too wet, or to hoe crops when they are
dripping with water, as some people
do; even cabbages, celery and turnips
are not benefited, if indeed they escape
serious injury, under such treatment.
In cultivating crops of any descrip.
ton, it is necessary to bear in mind
that, when they are young and grow
ing rapidly, it will be proper to
cultivate deeper and nearer to the
plants than at a later stage, when
growth is not SO rapid. At the later
stage such active cultivation would
have tendency to ripen off the crop,
rather than promote its growth.
During dry season, or period of
extended drought, the more frequently
the soil is stirred around a growing
crop the better, as the loosening up of
the surface soil will draw the moisture
from below upwards, within reach of
the feeding roots of the plants, and
thus enable them to absorb it.
In the case of any crop planted in
rows, it is good plan to stir the soil
and cut down the weeds, Immediately
after the plants come up, in the follow
ing manner: Take an ordinary har-
row and remove the front tooth; then
drive along each row of plants, keep
ing it exactly between the horses and
C6uUI oil w O1lC 1dilOWs Ills HdE1OW-
ing will not disturb them in the least,
and just at this stage will promote
their growth surprisingly. The
weeds, of course, will not be exter-
minated entirely; but their first early
growth will be effectually destroyed,
and they will more easily be kept I'M
der during the rest of the season.
Parasitic insects and vegetable para
sites Ito which latter class belong
smut, blight, mildew, etc. cause
heavy losses and disappointments to
all cultivators of the land both on
farms and in gardens. The more
thrifty the habit and condition of the
plants. the less will they be liable to
such ravages. Thorough and constant
cultivation disturbs and destroys, the
larvae, reinforces the plant, and en-
ables it to withstand parasitic attacks,
both animal and vegetable, to good adj
vantage. w ". Ra0son, IN N. 7. o.

THOROUGH DRAINAGE.
Figures Showing That 1t VIII Pay for Itself
in Few Years.

Figures Showing That 1t VIII Pay for Itself
in Few Years.
1t is we'll known that any soil
through which water precolates with
difficulty, as soil in which the water of
drainage remains standing near the
surface, will pay for undertaking
where the value of the land is $25 or
more per acre. 1t will often increase
the crop 100 per cent, rendering the
land fertile when without underdrain-
ing it would be almost valueless. On
the prairie soils of the West, the aver
age cost of tile and labor may be stated
at an average of $50 per acre.
But this cost is the capital cost. The
interest on this sum represents the an
nual sum to be charged against the
crop. Let this be placed at eight per
cent. for interest and wear and tear,
the annual cost would be four dollars
per acre only, even where the whole
land is necessary to be drained. This
is seldom the case. The average farm
will not require, perhaps, more than
the drainage of one-quarter of the area
to bring the whole soil into such con-
dition that blowing may go on at the
same time that the naturally dry por:
tions are ready for the pillow. Thus,
the average charge per acre to the
crop would, in the supposed case, be
only one dollar per acre. Hence, the
ouaStion of tho D1ofit from drain a on 9
resolved into a very simple question
in figures. If that portion of the soil
drained will produce four dollars worth
more, annually, with drainage than it
did before, drainage will pay.
There are few locations in well set
tied districts where tile may be had
where it viii not pay. As drainage
comes more and more to be regarded as
a permanent investment, this will be
more and more appreciated, especially
in all those situations where compare
lively little drainage will enable a
whole field to be plowed at one time
In Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri, UNDER
draining has added vastly to the pro-
ductive power of the soil, and this
means wealth to the farms. 1t not
only largely raises the average pro-
duction of the soil, but it adds consid-
erably to the length of the season and
diminishes the cost of cultivation

CRIMES OF WHISKY.
The New York "Tribune's" Views or the
Assassination of Messrs. HaddOck and
Northup.

The New York " Tribune's" Views or the
Assassination of NIessrs. HaddOck and
Northup.
The news of the assassination of DR..
Northup, Prohibitionist, at Haver-
hill, Scioto County, Ohio, by family
of rum-sellers is certain to quicken the
movement against the rum power
throughout the country. Few events
have done more to reinforce this agita-
ton than the murder of Rev. John
Haddock, another active Prohibition
list, by saloon men at Sioux City, Iowa.
The Prohibition organs everywhere, of
course, utilized the tragedy, and the re-
sort to murder by any representative
of the drink evil reflected a newstigma
upon the entire whisky interest. The
cowardly and brutal killing of DR..
Northup will inevitably extend and
deepen this feeling. The friends of
total abstinence will not pause to draw
distinc tons, but will fix the response
bility OF both crimes upon the liquor
interest as whole. and will no doubt
find much support in this course. The
killing of DR.. Nothrup appears to have
been deliberate, and as dastardly as
combined attack with deadly weapons
upon an unarmed man necessarily
must be. The ruffianism Of the deed
will excite no less horror and indigna-
ton than the alleged motive of it,
namely, the removal of a man who
had made himself especially obnox-
ious to the rum-seller by his efforts
in behalf of Prohibition. As MUIR
der it deserves, and will doubtless re-
ceive, the heaviest legal punishment.
AS whisky murderit will tell strongly
against the whisky cause everywhere.
Nor is it so certain that the holding
to account for such crimes of the liquor
interest generally is so unfair as may
seem at the first glance. For it must
be considered that this traffic is one
which naturally and necessarily at
tracts and enlists the lowest elements
of the community. The saloon in
politics has made the country ac-
quainted with those elements in the
most startling way. 1t has put over
the heads of the best citizens the vilest,
most ignorant, brutal and venal. 1t
has disfranchised intellect and virtue
often, and given the control of gov
eminent to vice and stupidity. 1t has
systematized plumber and corruption,
and lifted demagogues and knaves
into power at the expense and sacri-
flee of the public interests. In many
cities it has so fortified the criminal
classes that they have been enabled
for years to defy all efforts after reform;
and in more than one instance it has
been necessary to have recourse to
violent methods to dislodgc them. 1t is
therefore no exageration to say that the
employment of the worst instrument
alities, in the worst ways, belongs nat
urally to the prosecution of the COM
bat in which the rum power is now en-
gagged. And the further its represent
tatives are from the centers of civ
ilization, the remoter their location in
the country regions, the more apt will
they be to revert to the rowdyism and
ruffianism of their lowest type, as in
the Haddock and Northup cases.-M.

"A correspondent of the Gardeners
Monthly describes his mode of destroy
ing the thrips on his vines. After using
hellebore with partial success, he en-
ployed burning kerosene, using a wire
cup with long iron handle, placing in
it paper saturated with kerosene, which
was ignited and passed rapidly and
carefully over the foliage, avoiding the
fruit. This was found the most effici-
ent way of destroying the thrips.

would contain ewes that produce twins
and triplets instead of single lambs.

DRINK RUINS A HOME.

Father, Mother and Two Children Be
come the Victims of Alcohol.
One of the most deplorable cases in
which whisky is the prime factor was
brought to light in the Armory police
court this morning. John McNiven,
sturdy-looking young man of about
thlrty-fve years of age, was up to six
months ago respected man, and held
a position as telegraph operator in the
Baltimore & Ohio general offices. In
an evil moment he took to drinking,
and so great hold did it get on him
that he lost all manhood and neglected
to care for his wife and five children,
the eldest nine years and the youngest
three months old; His wife, small,
fraiI woman, becoming disheartened,
also began drinking, and after
her the two eldest boys followed.
In some manner the family
got posse of alcohol, and so public
did their actions become that the two
children received the sobriquets of
'tAlcohol Willie and .'Alcohol Harry"
For the past two weeks the family has
lived on the charity of neighbors.
Agent Barnett, of the Girls Industrial
Home, and Agent Dudley, of the HUI
name Society, took the case in hand
and this morning, with the assistance
of Officer Maloney, of the Cottage
Grove avenue district, arraigned the
family in the Armory police court.

who seemed greatly affected at the
thought of parting from his children,
was fined thirty dollars and sent to the

TEMPERANCE.
A TEMPERANCE STORY

1t was very still that night
When Lily knelt beside the bed,
A pale and steady eandle-ray
Lingering on her dropping head.
The small room was very bare
OF comforts such as women need,
And cen the simplest wants of life
Seemed poorly satisfied indeed.
Yet it was not always So
Time was, and not so long ago,
When Righteousness and peace weTS hers,
Ere Drink, the fiend, had brougN@ aer low.
AS she knelt there all alone,
With heart that ached and eyes that burned
In that supreme hour so forlorn,
How wildly the time returned!
Sorrow then was far away
OF care the garden lily knew
As much as she, or lightest leaf
That ever the south wind blew.
There had been one happy day.
When, radiant with hope and youth.
She gave her life into the hands
OF one she deemed all love and truth,
o, the hard reality!
The bitter, the unwelcome truth
So sad, that on her breaking heart
The darkest demon might have ruth.
Of the year the stillest night
1t surely was, for no slight sound
Of ticking clock or falling Goals
Disturbed the solitude around.
There was no voice nor breath
In the dead child upon the bed;
The mother moved not, neither wept-
In bitterness her tears had fed.
Hark! the mournful silence broke
With noise of stumbling feet
And with thrill of deep disgust,
She turned her lord to meet.
A dim sense of some dread thing,
Felt in the awful solitude,
And mirrored i'll her rigid face,
Brought him to a soberer mood,
She met his eyes but spoke not;
For what she felt was far too strong,
Too deep for feeble human speech;
Too measureless her mighty wrong.
She lifted her wasted arm,
And her accusing finger drew
His frightened gaze to cupboard bare,
And fireless hearth; and then the view
OF the pale corpse lying there.
What words so loud as that mute hand
AAoH0 AdAU anu AolcO anu LedEieSS eyes
Could in their silent might command?
He shivered beneath their weight,
And horror seized his guilty soul
At sight of all the mise
With which he filed the drunlzard's bowl.
From that unforgotten night
Twas he alone-thank God who knew
The pain and peril want and woe,
That aye the drunkard's life bestrew
